Tahimik lang akong nakaupo habang silang tatlo ay busy sa pag-uusap."Babe?" Napatingin ako kay Axis.
"What?"
"You okay?" Punong-puno ng concern na tanong niya.
"Yea."
"Ang tahimik mo." Puna niya ulit.
Well, nawala din talaga ko sa mood e. Imagine, parang nakalimutan ni Axis na nandito ko dahil dumating yung dalawa.
And please don't get me wrong, hindi ako galit sa mga bestfriend ko. Selos siguro pwede pa. Ako kase kailangan kong magpanggap para lang makausap siya. Kailangan munang maging si Alice ako.
Isa pa, base na din sa kwento ni Aya, hindi sila close ni Alice so hindi din ako masyadong sumasagot sa usapan nila. Baka makahalata pa si Axis e.
"Nasan nga pala si Kristen?" Agad akong napatingin kay Axis ng magtanong siya.
"Wow kuya ha. You still remember our friend." Mapang-asar na sabi ni Aya tsaka tumingin sakin.
"Kilala niya ko?" I mouthed pero ang bruha tinawanan lang ako.
"Of course I do. Who can forget her?"
Wait. I don't remember any instance na nagkita na kami before. Matagal na kaming magbabarkadang tatlo nila Aya pero never kong na-meet si Axis. I am sure of that kaya paano niya ko nakilala?
"Wait lang sis. Paano na kilala ni kuya Axis mo si Kristen samantalang ako ay hindi?" Nagtataka na ding tanong ni Cathy.
"Actually, hindi naman talaga sila nagkikita pa."
"How come he knows her?" Hindi ko na napigilang sumabat kaya makahalugugan nila kong tinignan.
"I saw her twice already babe." Si Axis ang sumagot.
"You saw her?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ko. "When? Where?"
"We haven't met personally babe. I just saw her on the picture before."
"And?" I asked.
"And she's pretty." Napangiti ako dahil sa sinabi niya.
"You said you saw her twice." Pagpapatuloy ko.
"Yup. The second time is when I visited Aya at her school. I saw her personally but I was not able to talk to her."
Kailan yun? Waaaah! Maganda kaya ako nung mga panahong nakita niya ko?
"And what can you say when you saw her in person?"
"She's prettier." Jusko po! Tama po ba yung narinig ko? Hindi ko alam kung paano itatago yung kilig na nararamdaman ko hanggang sa maramdaman ko na lang ang pagkurot sakin ni Cathy.
"Sinong mas maganda sa aming dalawa ni Kristen?" I asked bilang Alice.
"Do you want me to give you an honest answer babe?"
"Yes." Pigil hininga akong naghihintay ng sagot niya.
"Kristen is prettier than you babe but my eyes are locked only for you." Napapalakpak ako ng walang tunog dahil sa mga sinasagot niya sakin.
"Haba ng hair mo girl!" Text sakin ni Aya.
"Kainggit ka sis." Sunod naman n nagtext si Cathy.
Napangiti naman ako sa kanilang dalawa.
"Last question babe." Lakas-loob na sabi ko. "Kung walang Alice babe, will there be a chance that you'll know Kristen better?"
Matagal namayani ang katahimikan bago siya sumagot.
"Why not? I mean she's pretty babe. If you can just see her, she's really pretty. At base sa mga kwentong naririnig ko about her, she's really kind. She seems a very good person. So who would not fall for a girl like her?" I can't hide my smile. I'm really happy that he notices me being Kristen. "But that is if I haven't met you. And since I have you now, I'm very much contented." He reached for my hand and I was shocked on what he did next.
He kissed me on the lips.
